A prime example for how complicate those things are, we consider simple. Your poem is true and seems simple because it is easy to understand for the reader and connect with the theme. You wrote so fluent in this complicated manner that the Codary structure seems hidden beneath an almost musical flow of words. I feel honored to deliver the illustration to the poem. Thank you!

Great work. From where I sit, you captured the essence of this poetry style. A childhood home evokes so many emotions that still affect us today. Leaving those memories in the past is the only way to go. Thank you for sharing.

This is the first time I have heard of a codary poem and you were successful in complying with the requirements for writing it. Childhood memories are always memorable and nice to remember where every room of the house reminds nostalgic moments for a child. thanks for sharing this poem.

My daughter thinks I remember too much ......and your poem has reminded me to just let go...and laugh..........because life is too short to be shackled by a child's memories if they are painful..I had to put an adult face on them to understand..
Well written
God bless

Great poem. I relate to the subject. I recently had the privilege of visiting my childhood home and being given a tour of it as it has been changed from what I know by it's new owners. In case someone goes on about the "it's" the new owners are it's possessive owners. Oh me language and diffrences across the world! Sigh!
